That's the perfect response! We should teach kids to give it to teachers, especially at a level beyond their teacher's education. Most are educated in Education . . . not a particular subject.

The Simpsons covered this brilliant two decades ago where Bart stole the "Teacher's Edition" of every text book. Learning stopped.

Forced atheism is no better than forced religion.

Atheism is a religion. there is no moral neutral.

Just what I was thinking. Imagine the power if all Christian parents, at least those with the means to do so said, “ We are home schooling and will not play a part in state indoctrination. “

As far as this, I would talk to the school board. If that didn’t get me anywhere, I would use what the secular humanists have set up and file legal action for what they themselves call a violation of the first amendment.

If atheism is a religion, then not watching football is a sport.

I agree. It’s probably reason #386,722 why we home school.

The school board is made up of socialists like the teachers. When they retire, thats what they do.

I know of no school board not made up of people too incompetent to sit on a homeowners association board. I live in the rural desert. Most conservative county in the west. I used to be a reporter/Journo. Every school board here fits the above description.

The internet had all mane of online schooling. The problem is parents don’t want to sacrifice a big screen or a swimming pool to protect their kids from leftists. If they did, they would not send their kids to leftists so both parents could work.

Thankfully, there are many sports that are not football - So in that, I will agree.

Likewise, one's religion determines what one worships... Normally science, the state, or self, for those who do not recognize deity. As Dylan said, 'You've got to serve sombody'....

The fallacy in logic is when asked to “prove it” you simply retort “no, you disprove it”. The answer is neither side can empirically measure and prove or disprove the existence of God, therefore it is an article of faith for both camps.

This teacher is somehow getting off on intellectually bullying children on a philosophical point that has been argued by humans since the dawn of time. What a loser.

Keep saying that everywhere you can.

Such logic proves a Prime Mover. Then we can talk about how he reveals his attributes to his rational creatures.

I like Jesus’ statement, “If (or when) you see Me, you see the Father”.

Even if someone comes back from the dead, it won’t convince someone who doesn’t want to be convinced.

I believe Abraham said that to the rich man. Besides that, Jesus Christ came back from the dead, and most people still don't believe in Him.

People make all sorts of excuses why they can’t.

Somehow 200 years ago with no transport and far less goodies, people managed to get their kids educated without Govt assistance.

We must have devolved as a species I guess.

The teacher is a liberal. Liberals belong in cages. No exceptions.

It was all planned by John Dewey, the Humanist (Father of Modern “Education”) and the Fabians to destroy rhetoric and the ability to transmit abstract ideology (Christianity/Traditions) to the next generation.

As Fichte and Wittgenstein knew— when you limit Words/Language—you can actually limit concepts. (It is why SCOTUS banned the Bible and Christianity from the classrooms in the 60s as they didn’t ban paganism/satanism (sodomy) and other “faiths” like Humanism and Naturalism)-—to create useful ignorant idiots who would just act like the majority did in the above classroom-—and admit that the idea of God is Dead——the Postmodernist wet-dream, so they could be gods and teach a new moral code to the kiddies to flip Good and Evil (Vice makes Slaves).

It is why the Bible-—the Book with the largest vocabulary and the most abstract/multi-layered literature and most accurate descriptions of human nature without God/morality, was eliminated from curricula. The Bible literally expands the brain in young children unlike any other literature on earth. It created the possibility of the Age of Reason and Modern Science and the US Constitution. It creates the Newtons, Franklins, Adams and Jeffersons-type brains (which all memorized parts of the Bible as children)-—people who can understand Reality and abstract thinking (unlike tribal minds/slaves). They are able to become the Wilberforces of the world and why slavery and pederasty was made “Evil”.

Can’t have brilliant thinkers when you want to make slaves of the masses again-—return to the days of paganism and sodomites/pederasty.

Well, Aristotle’s Metaphysics is rather abstract. Also, considering Aristotle is the bedrock of Western thought I’m not surprised they are completely ignorant of him.

Just another “dead white guy”.

“This teacher should be fired.
Forced atheism is no better
than forced religion.”

Forced atheism is forced religion.

"not watching football is a sport."

Yep, I'm in better shape than most football couch potatoes my age both physically and mentally.
